Louis Réard invented the "bikini" and showed it for the 1st time in Paris in 1946. Did you know he picked that name after the nuclear explosion that happened 5 days before on the "Bikini" Atoll on Marshall islands located in the Pacific Ocean? He hoped its introduction would have the effect of a bomb, and it did!So here I am in my bikini in one of my favourite spots in Dubai. Kite beach (also known as Wollongong Beach) in Umm Suqueim. A long white sandy beach, with a nice view on the hotel Burj Al Arab (The world's only 7 star hotel...What else???) and a mosque just behind (luxury and traditions: that is Dubai). This is the most active beach I've ever seen in my life: volley-ball, racket, paddle-board, football, kite surf! You feel tired just looking at them :) Today it's sooo windy that I just can't relax. One of those days you are fighting with your hair, towel, and trying desperately not to be covered with sand! I just wanted to look like Ursula Andress in Dr No (wearing the most famous bikini of all time) but I'm just being blown away like an autumn leaf...Just have to jump in the waves! and try not to get stuck in a tumble dryer. My bikini and basket are from Oysho, I love their collection : bikinis, tops, dresses, towels, shoes, everything is pretty...I'm glad I bought that lovely basket with bamboo handles, it has some extra inside cover for the sand, it's just PERFECT!
